1962 - Belongs to History

In the previous 24 years it had only been driven 2000mi. From 2003-07 only 6 miles.  Mostly parades and fairs in Massillon. Because of the low speeds and very short distances no one had noticed a leaky gas tank, fuel pump and BAD brakes!! Those were the only mechanical problems though and very understandable considering.

62OF85conv 1962 InteriorI fixed those anomalies and Ive taken one trip to Tenn (from Baltimore Md) got an avg of 22 mpg and used 1 pint of oil for the 1100 miles. Just drive to cruises now and once in awhile go around to circulate oil and charge the battery. It has had one new top put on and been repainted once - orig color. I do think the tranny has been rebuilt but dont have that history. I've replaced shocks, rubber bushings, and the motor/tran mounts. Other than those things, a cold air intake and the normal consumables it is original. Oh yes 14" US Indy slot
mags (to get 14" tires).
